Western Nevada Fish Reports


As of February 19, South Fork of the Humboldt was flowing at 10 cfs

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Not much change here as many streams are still mostly covered in ice due to overnight temperatures in the teens. Flows are similar to last week and shorelines are snow and ice covered and very slippery. Access is iffy to many of these waters due to springlike muddy conditions, so leave a trip plan and go prepared to spend the night. With colder water temperatures

Pyramid is already in full swing

by RENO FLY FISHING OUTFITTERS
Pyramid is already in full swing. The reports are fantastic from all over the lake. Both big fish and numbers of fish are being caught. The next two months are going to be awesome. The lake leve is down around three feet from last spring. The importance of that is that the fish have adjusted some to new locations, the beaches have different depths to

As of February 11, South Fork of the Humboldt was flowing between 10 and 15 cfs

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Not much change here as many streams are still mostly covered in ice with open water where flows are faster. Flows appear to be increasing with the warmer weather melting some of the snowpack. Shorelines are snow and ice covered and very slippery. Access is iffy to many of these waters so leave a trip plan and be prepared to spend the night. Anglers need

East Walker River Fishing Report

by LIZ WEIRAUCH
24cfs, a perfect time to see where the holes are! Golden stones moving, black midges 18-20 and BWO are coming off. No lips to be seen so nymph it. Top fly a streamer … they are getting hungry! The afternoon ‘lajar’ (ice melt from waters above) should be minimal in these next days … since most should be already melted and not freezing with these

Fishing has changed quite a bit out at the lake

by RENO FLY SHOP
Fishing has changed quite a bit out at the lake. We are seeing the typical transition the LCT make every year where they begin to focus heavily on midges and begin to make their way into shallow water to feed. With the high pressure and blue-bird weather, fishing has been inconsistent. Some days have great numbers, others are producing few fish but good quality, and

The trout are feeding heavily and putting on weight

by RENO FLY SHOP
The Truckee river is flowing at 250 cfs through the downtown gauge that is well below the median for this time of year (400 cfs). The river is in really good shape as the weather has kept the river temperatures above freezing at night and ending the day in the low 40’s. The trout have responded to the increased temperatures and they are feeding heavily

The lake level has come up a little over the last week

by DOUG BUSEY
The lake level has come up a little over the last week. Trollers have been top lining with Rapalas or Roostertail spinners in a black pattern. Flashers and a worm have also been productive. With more day time sun, the fish are a little more active. Shore fishing has been spotty. Best action has been on the east shore in the park or over past

by BEARFISH ALLIANCE STAFF
Put in the time, reap the rewards. While the fishing has definitely picked up and some quality pigs are being caught, you do have to be cognizant of the fact that you have to be on point when searching out these one of a kind Trout. Depth, presentation, time, weather, and moon cycle all play a part. We have had pretty consistent results on Vampire

February truly is the month to try and get that trophy cutthroat

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
While the bite is far from consistent, February truly is the month to try and get that trophy cutthroat. We’ve seen multiple 20+ pound fish landed this week, including a 26.5 pound pig caught by Todd Keller. With fish pretty well spread out this time of year, most beaches have a good likelihood of kicking out a big fish, and we are the kind of

The Truckee continues to see stabile flows

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
The Truckee continues to see stabile flows as cold nights have prevented any premature runoff, and while they are a little on the low side of average the fishing remains good on most sections of the river. With access open along most sections and firm snow conditions keeping postholes to a minimum, we encourage you to get a good walk in and try some quiet
